Saxophone Lesson Testimonials

Patrick was flexible and helpful in finding a regular lesson time for our middle school-aged son, and under Patrick’s guidance he has improved immensely! As an instructor, he has a great feel for when to introduce new music and when to focus on technique. Most importantly, his love for music has been contagious - our younger son even expressed a desire to switch to saxophone after watching Patrick for just a few minutes!

I’ve learned a lot while taking music lessons from Patrick. He was able to quickly identify those areas where my understanding of fundamentals was weak, and quickly helped me improve in the basic skills of playing sax. Each lesson provides an opportunity for me to learn something different about music, as well as about playing sax. Patrick relates well to adult learners. I find Patrick’s “I play-You play” teaching method to be especially effective.

Patrick is a friendly and understanding teacher. He is a pleasure to learn from, as he brings a sense of enthusiasm to even the most mundane of learning exercises. Our class time was focused and fun, and my excitement for learning my instrument grew with each lesson.
